From the earliest moments of life in an egg balanced on its mother and father's feet through hatching, feeding, taking a first swim, avoiding hunting seals, and up through adulthood to begin the cycle again, this is a complete, accessible look at the life cycle of the emperor penguin. Endnotes explain the science behind the story and extend the scientific learning.
